Background: 3D Rendering • 3D renderings are reconstructed from cross sectional images (CT, MRI, etc..) • Widely used for visualizing complex anatomy and pathology • CPT codes 76376 and 76377 introduced in 2006 • Without or with an independent workstation (i.e. CT scan vs. 3D Lab) • Reimbursement policies for 3D renderings vary by insurance providers • We are interested in large scale, observational data about preoperative use of 3D rendering before a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA)

Public Health Impact: Revision Arthroplasties • Revision arthroplasties cost more than $3.5 Billion to the United States Healthcare System • Aseptic mechanical loosening is a leading cause of TKA, TSA, and THA revision • 3D rendering use may reduce incidences of mechanical loosening and revision arthroplasties Delanois RE, Mistry JB, Gwam CU, et. al.

Preop 3D Rendering: Hypothetical Advantages • Create Intuitive Visualization of Anatomy and Pathology • Provide Quantitative Measurements • Improve Decisions about Surgical Access • Improve Choice of Prosthetic • Improve Communication among Patients, Healthcare Providers and Trainees
Study Design • A set of retrospective, observational, cohort studies • Study Period: 01/01/2006 – Present • Comparison 1: 3D prior to TKA vs. No 3D prior to TKA • Comparison 2: 3D prior to TSA vs. No 3D prior to TSA • Comparison 3: 3D prior to THA vs. No 3D prior to THA • Outcomes Cohorts: TKA, TSA, THA Revision • Time-At-Risk: POD#1 – End of Study Period • Propensity Score, Negative Controls, Positive Controls
3D TKA Cohort • TKA is the index event, first procedure occurrence, on or after 1/1/2006, 365 days of medical records prior • At least 1 3D Rendering within 90 days prior to index event • Not a robotic or computer-assisted procedure • Age 40+ • No prior knee revision procedure • No prior knee arthroplasty procedure, observation or condition • No fracture of bone of knee joint within 90 days prior to index event
Preliminary Results and Analysis Plan • Preliminary results suggest that 3D rendering cohorts consist of patients who are more complex and are use medical imaging more often than the patients in the comparator cohort • Consistent with another analysis of an NYC based central data repository, the proportions of 3D renderings done without and with an independent workstation are similar • Time to Revision • Proportion of Revisions • Cost Effectiveness • Variance by Site and Insurance Provider
Discussion Outline • Changes to preoperative arthroplasty imaging workup • Insurance Coverage • Imaging Nuances • Evolution of 3D Rendering Technology • 3D Printing/Patient Specific Instrumentation • Preop planning vs. Computer-Assisted or Robotic Guidance • Limitations of Codes and Phenotypes • Uncontrolled Confounding
